DescriptionA blacksmith shop has a sign that reads "C.R. VINING / HORSE SHOEING / FOR CASH / ONLY." A man stands in the door of the frame building; two wagons are in the yard. A winter view of Canton Center includes a church, houses, and outbuildings; elm trees line the road; snow is on the ground. Men, women, and children crowd the streets and gather around a war memorial, presumably at its dedication. Automobiles are in the foreground. A town green with a church, houses, grassy lawn, and elm trees is in the background.
